Police confirmed that one of Colombia's most wanted drug lords was killed in a shootout, but they said they had confused the man with his twin. Killed in Tuesday's raid was Victor Manuel Mejia, one of two suspected drug-trafficking brothers, according to a police statement. Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos earlier misidentified the slain man as his brother Miguel Angel. The police statement said Victor Mejia was carrying his brother's identity papers and that a fingerprint confirmed his true identity.

Authorities said four house fires reported Saturday "share a commonality" with other intentionally set blazes that have plagued an area outside Philadelphia, but they wouldn't say if they were connected. The suspected arsons were reported near Coatesville, which has been hit with more than 30 suspicious fires over the last year -- at least 17 of those since Jan. 1. Nearly all have been started on porches. No injuries were reported in the latest fires, and only one house had significant damage.

Cameron Charles Seaholm, suspected of killing a 21-year-old Garden Grove woman and dumping her body in the hills near Corona, was a drifter with an unhappy family background but was not a violent man, his relatives said Friday. "It's such a contradiction--I can't believe what I've seen on TV and in the papers," Seaholm's mother, Joanne Sandor of Santa Ana, said shortly before leaving for Riverside County Jail to see her son. "I know my son is innocent. It's a setup, and that's what I have to find out."
